I've got Sumatras, Easter Eggers, Plymouth Rock, and Phoenix, all being crossed with Leghorns. My goal is to create a stronger layer within each breed. This is a controlled breeding program, but along the way I'm getting the mixed breed versions of these chickens. I usually keep them and hatch them out to continue working on the breeding program, but I'm getting more than my two incubators can handle right now.
The only other cross is EE with Plymouth Rock, in my attempts to create more "olive eggers" than the single layer that I already have. The offspring will be 3/4 EE and 1/4 Plymouth Rock.
So right now I have eggs of ALL colors available. Today's gather yielded eggs from the Sumatra hens (2), Half-Plymouth Rock hen (1), and Leghorn hens (2). Tomorrow will probably have all of that plus an olive egg and an easter egger.
I'm selling the full dozen for $10 plus shipping. At least one of each color WILL be included, or I'll hold off until all colors have been laid. There is a VERY good chance that I can do more than one dozen per week, but anything over a full dozen will be split between orders, and included for free. So if I get 26 eggs, I'll send out two boxes of 13 eggs each.
Located south of Atlanta, so local pick-up in that area IS available.
